So what exactly did you do to piss off the Amazon Returns department? Because from my experience, they are the most lenient company when it comes to returns/refunds. I’ve had stuff arrive broken, or scuffed up, or it was the wrong item, or I just plain didn’t like a product and every time I’ve been able to submit a return without having to interact with a single person.

I feel like you either have to be lying about your experience, didn’t even try to return it, or did something that got your account flagged.

Frothing at the mouth

I’m not sure it was a lie, it’s the kind of thing that’s so minor it’s easy for someone on the marketing team to just not know about.

It’s like if a snack company put out a message saying they used no animal products and then later found out that a derivative of beeswax was used to lubricate some of the mechanisms in their packing machine.

If you want to be absolutely inflexible and refuse to allow any exceptions to the rules, no matter the circumstances, that’s fine. But you’ve gotta recognize the irony in that line of reasoning being more machine-like than human.

I’ve often thought about how society might be different if every year or so, we all voted on who was the worst person in the world, and then executed them. Similarly, voting for the worst company in the world and then dissolving it entirely, with executives and board members imprisoned. The absolute worst individuals and companies would have significant societal pressure to avoid being monsters. It wouldn’t even matter if everything they did was legal, it’s just a matter of public opinion.

A friend recommended it to me. A little less than half way I had to stop and remind my friend that I am very gay and this book is basically just a harem anime.

I’m not disagreeing with that, but saying they “wouldn’t lose much by switching” is laughably untrue.

I’m not on either of them, but I’m also not confused as to how a group that’s wanting to run ads might prefer an audience of hundreds of millions of people instead of tens of millions.

Is a half opened pack loosely shoved into an already full junk drawer not good enough for you or something? I’ll have you know that only some of the loose batteries in there are dead.

Except, of course, for audience size. Which, if you are running ads, is sort of the main goal.

Every normal person will use gmail

I mean… She’s not wrong. Individuals privacy minded enough to avoid even basic Google services like Gmail are most definitely NOT the norm. Like, you’re not wrong for avoiding it, but don’t pretend like it’s some common thing that everyone does. You are VERY MUCH in the minority.

It’s basically like saying “every normal person will use Windows or Mac”. Wrong or right, that IS the norm.

I just pick at them with my finger while in the shower.

Picking the mineral deposits out of ones that have become clogged is so satisfying.

They still wipe their shit with their bare hand. I am ok calling any society primitive that can’t figure out how to use some form of water to wash their ass, or AT LEAST toilet paper.

Reddit has not been reliable for at least 3 years now. If you’re looking at reviews from older posts, sure, still a good source.

If you’re looking for product reviews for recent items though? It’s all bots. Bots asking the question, bots replying to the question, bots replying to the replies. You can tell because they usually state the full product name and then give generic praise that could be applied to literally anything.

I’ve heard that claim before. Anyone have a source?

Unfortunately the aforementioned list will never contain the most “stone cold killer”, most dangerous predator species of 'em all, because it’s a list kept by that very species themselves.

Wallabies…

This reminds me of those posts from anti-vaxers who complain about not being able to find good studies or sources that support their opinion.

Windows 11 are broken

I’m pointing out a major, physical, sign that someone is, or has, struggled with poverty and knows first hand how hard that is.

I see way too many “hot takes” on how poverty works from people who don’t have the scar, or even know what it is. To me, that’s a big red flag that they don’t know wtf they’re talking about as they haven’t experienced it.
